I found that my obstacles were numerous, but all related to self,
as are all obstacles; I wasn't taking the time to practice; I was
trying at night (which meant I mostly fell asleep), I was trying
too hard, and lastly, I wasn't ready. What do I mean by me not
being ready? I mean that I was impatient, demanding immediate
results, and because this wasn't happening according to my self
inflicted timeline, I was then throwing away my efforts, excusing
the obvious facts, and my new found reality. So many of us demand
answers and results now, but there is no race to spirituality,
advancement, or knowledge. It will happen as you are ready, not
as you demand it. Relax.

Also, I tell people that this is like a muscle which we have
not used, so it has atrophied. If you were to spend your whole
life in a wheelchair, would you expect that you could walk
immediately? It takes a lot of work and practice to develop this
"muscle".

Primarily in the morning. Even Robert Monroe went
through several sleep cycles before he left his body. If you do
it at night, you are usually too tired and will fall into a deep
slumber. Unfortunately, most of us cannot sleep-in, except for
weekends, but that's how it is. When I won the daily lottery via
astral projection, it was because it was snowing outside and I
didn't have to go to work that day.

There is an unmistakable feel to leaving your body.
You are very lucid and it has no dream qualities about it. When
you lift your limbs, you can feel them rising. They are your
limbs at that point, not the inanimate flesh on the bed.

What really started me on my path to success was
the Gateway series tapes by the Monroe Institute. Also, read as
much as you can because you want to saturate your subconscious
mind with the topic. Whatever you dwell on, it will eventually
come forth in your consciousness. I also use affirmations and
keep a dream journal. And starting this year, I began research
into neodymium earch magnets as an aid.

First, I went to the moon. Often when you leave
your body you see astral matter that is not visible to the
physical eye. When I went to the moon I was greeted by a man I
didn't know and then he showed me around a "compound" where
people (mainly men, I think) used this facility, but for what, I
don't know. It had a sterile feel to it though. What is it you
want to do? I find that the astral is pretty much unlimited. You
decide what and where you want to go and then state your desire.
I do this a lot. For example, if you want to see a friend, just
say, "Take me to Cindy's house!"

I've only done this once and it was interesting. I
wasn't who I thought I'd be. I expressed the desire to see a past
life and the next thing I knew I was a "fly boy" in a fighter
plane during the last World War! My current best friend was also
a pilot and a friend of mine as well. I plan on doing more past
life regressions. I feel close to many cultures and time periods
and want to explore that.

This is a revolving question and would take a
volume to explain, of which I am not the person to do that. If I
tell you that you are going to wear red tomorrow, you can express
free will and wear blue.

The astral counterpart is exactly that. For
example, once in the astral, I picked up a lipstick and drew
something on the bathroom mirror, but it was not there in the
physical. I have heard of cases where electric objects can be
affected by the astral. All things can be changed in the astral
but whether they will be changed in the physical depends on how
close vibrationally you are to the physical. I have read that
things exist in the astral because of our thoughts, and how long
that remains in the astral depends on how much it is thought
about. For example, mass religion may construct a "heaven" which
becomes almost a permanent place in the astral because of so many
millions of continual thoughts; whereas the lipstick I drew on
the mirror will not be there after a few hours. That is why you
can sometimes see furniture in your room that is not your own. It
is probably the previous owner's furniture, which has its own
imprint that has remained, and will take months to years to
fade.

These are very clear. When you bi-locate during
remote viewing, your consciousness is literally at the target. It
is no different than being there in the physical (see Glossary
for a breakdown of terms like bi-locate and target). The astral,
depending on what level you are on, is just as clear. The higher
the level, the more brilliant. The lower levels tend to be
"darker", and more dull in nature.

I initially said that you could see yourself lying
there on the bed, but I think that what we are really seeing is
the etheric body. I don't think we can see the physical body
because it's not of the same vibration (like I keep saying over
and over... we see the astral counterpart of what is in the
physical). I've gotten several e-mails where they can't see ANY
body on the bed. That's because they are in both the astral and
etheric vehicle so there's nothing to see on the bed! On a
related note, I had a very strange astral experience once where I
kept having the same dream over and over about tornadoes (twisted
sisters). After about the 4th time that I dreamt this, I realized
that it was a dream (lucid dream). I then created an astral
"counterpart" of myself and left that counterpart to live out the
dream so no one would worry and then my "self" flew away. I've
never heard of anyone doing this before. As far as what you are
wearing, I don't pay attention, but I don't feel naked.

No, you see the person that you are trying to see.
Your higher self knows all and will direct you to the correct
person. I don't even have to have the name, just the intent. I
once remote viewed a missing girl and I saw her perfectly even
though there are probably many girls with the name of Erika
Baker. The parents of the missing girl sent me her picture and it
was a perfect match to what I had seen.

Not typically because you have different vibrations
which is why you can't see "ghosts" or people who are astral
projecting. There are people who can project near the physical
vibration rate and can be seen by others, and communicate as
well, but this is rare (and usually unintentional).

Not always. Because you are both occupying the same
space and you are both really just "ghosts". A ghost is simply a
spirit without the body. Also, people have mentioned that they
have been questioned by astral entities as to whether or not they
had "bodies" in the physical which means some of them cannot tell
as well. The only time I can tell is if I can "sense" that they
have died.

Not so much "worlds", but levels, each separated by
vibrations. The higher the vibration, the finer the frequency (to
the point that even the air sparkles). Then once you leave the
astral, you then enter the mental and then so forth. Some levels
are not visual in nature, just pure knowledge. You cannot take a
camera because it is of a different vibration, and even if you
could, the camera works off of a certain range of light
particles, and the astral is totally different.

I've been to the moon, and when I described another
location I had been to, someone said it was Mars (dome shaped
buildings and a dark, shadowy atmosphere--like inside Mars). The
life you see there is not physical, but astral (the life on Mars
may have been physical, but not detected by our current
technology. When I went to the moon, there was a structure there
that was no longer inhabited, but when it was, it was by humans
(mainly men). It appeared to be some sort of compound. I couldn't
tell what.

You bet! And if you astral project, and stay near
the lower astral worlds, you are bound to run into them. Some
call them parasites, but I only run into them when I am just
leaving my body and am close to the physical world. As soon as I
raise my vibrations, they cannot enter the higher worlds.

Dead people can have many appearances. It has been
commented over and over that the higher their vibration, the more
they appear like a radiant star. Once you tune into their
frequencies they will look younger than when they died, free of
any physical defects. They also have various garments on. You can
touch them in the astral and this can be a very warming
experience.

Both. After a cycle on earth, the spirits leave the
physical and have to inhabit another locale, and what they were
here, may be what they will be there. People are not "bad", but
instead are judged that way because they are hurt, confused,
afraid, shamed, and so forth. When they leave this physical life,
they have a chance to heal before they begin another. People also
get to see the wrongs they have done to others, and I hear this
is a very painful process.

No. People only wander around the earth if they are
lost, confused, clinging to the material world (or to a person
who has not died yet) and so forth. There are many places and
people to experience in the afterlife. We chose our next
incarnation at our own pace after we review what we accomplished
and what didn't get learned. This can be a short while, or a
century in physical life terms (time is non-existent once in the
astral or higher planes). It may not necessarily be here on
earth. When you finish your physical earth cycle, you will go to
the next plane of existence, never to return to earth (unless you
chose to in order to teach, lead, heal, etc.) Going through the
earth cycles can take a thousand lifetimes or just several. That
is up to us. That is why it is so important to not cling to
material goods, to carry fear and hatred in our hearts. All of
the spiritual figures throughout our history have taught the same
thing; the true meaning of life is love for one another and
ourselves. All things that we pursue to make us temporarily happy
are unnecessary in the long run, and are only obstacles that keep
us from our true path of enlightenment.

God gave us free will so our future is as we make
it. You have an ultimate destiny, but how you walk on the path
towards that destiny is up to you. Someone once said, "It's not
what is done or said to you, it's how you react." I also read
recently that our lives are like blank sheets of paper and how we
react to situations colors that paper. What is done to us is
neither good or bad, just neutral.

I am personally very clear on my path. If you want
to know what it is, I'll tell you briefly; we are here to learn
and love. We cannot move beyond this physical realm until we
learn about ourselves. Every action we take to help our fellow
man, helps ourselves. The highest moral you can have is love.
There are also different soul purposes while here on earth; there
are the teachers, caretakers, healers, leaders, guides and
learners. My role is the teacher.

Looking at your past life will help show you some
of the lessons you are to learn. If you see yourself repeating
the same behavior, this can help you focus on your goals. We are
here but a short while, so we need to use our time wisely. There
is no race to spirituality, but if we can take the short road,
that would be nice.

I had a dream once that my step-mother (who was
unkind to me in the physical) did me a kind service in a dream. I
was very happy and grateful for the service that she had done. At
that moment, a message was sent to me saying that his was done to
help undue a wrong she had done me during her physical life. I
would say this is karmic cycle in process.

Some things are very clear, and some are symbolic.
Half my dreams that are psychic are of a symbolic nature. I
dreamt once that my boss was packing his truck with all of his
personal belongings and I was so upset I cried. When I went to
work the next day, he had been fired and in his outbasket were
all of his credit cards and access keys. While he did not
literally "pack his truck" he had been fired and his things had
been removed. You cannot always be sure of what you see. For
example, all the doomsday predictions at the millennium created a
lot of astral debris. Remember, what we think about gets created
in the astral (and the longer it stays there when there is mass
thought concentrating on it). So I saw comets, earthquakes and
tidal waves in my dreams, but non of which happened. If there was
a sure-fire way to know all of this, I'd be retired!

We are not here on earth to make non-believers
believers. Otherwise you would spend your whole life forcing your
will on others and that is not why you are here. You are only
here to experience things for yourself. Their truths will become
self evident when they are ready. Does it matter if so and so
doesn't believe? I still believe and that's all that matters to
me. It is ego when we try and show and prove to everyone about
our talents.

I have both, but they are sporadic. When we all
look at people, the intuition is layered with our own beliefs and
judgments. When you strip all of those, you would be much more
inclined to see the real person. There are not too many people
who can put 100% of their judgment aside. We judge everything,
even subconsciously; their sex, age, religion, background,
attire, mannerisms, and so forth.

Psychics, like any gifted person, are usually born
that way (but any one of us can also increase our own inborn
skills). They are pretty much doing the same thing as remote
viewers. They pick up something about you and see pictures,
sounds, etc. Accuracy varies.
